🌱 There isn’t such thing as kids that are confident or aren’t.

It can be learned.

Each time when a kid:

✅ Acquires a new ability
✅ Tackles something difficult
✅ Does something in front of others
✅ Makes a mistake but perseveres
✅ Gets noticed for putting in the work

They gather proof that says:

“It’s possible I could tackle difficult stuff.”

And that is how confidence actually happens.

It doesn’t happen all at once.

But in small steps. 🥋

💪 Happy Monday Everyone

🙂 WE ARE ARE BAYSGARTH 50TH BIRTHDAY BASH 🙂

It’s a much cooler day and we are here at Baysgarth School as part of their 50th Birthday Bash and we are looking forward to seeing everyone.

Be sure to pop along and say hi!

Confidence Isn’t Always Noisy

🥋 Confidence isn’t always loud.

Sometimes it’s a kid who raises their hand for the first time.

Sometimes it’s a kid who gets involved without having a parent there with them.

Sometimes it’s about making another attempt when things go wrong.

Sometimes it’s about coming through that door even though they almost didn’t.

At KRMA, we understand that every child builds confidence at different rates.

We don’t need every one of our kids to be the noisiest, quickest, or most naturally gifted.

All we want is to make them a little bit braver each day. 💪

🔥 LEADERSHIP AT KRMA 🔥

One of the things we love about our Leadership Team is their ability to inspire and coach those younger than them.

Youbger children often look up to those older as Role Models. in this photo you can see Lizzy having a pep talk with Natasha before she went in for points fighting.

What a great moment to capture 🙂
